Muhibbah secured the contract to fabricate the Ophir platform at its yard at Klang, located 40km south-west of Kuala Lumpur before its installation in the field.

SPT Offshore managing director Mark Riemers said: "This award proves that suction pile foundations for wellhead platforms are a very cost-efficient solution, and provides the option for re-use at other fields.

"The jacket with integrated suction pile foundation will be installed in one piece offshore, making a safe and swift offshore execution possible."
